Elops 500, 2 x 20 L Double Bag

These panniers are good but they could be better. They are big bright and and carry a massive payload. The clips that keep the panniers on the rack need a rear strap. This would stop them going forward. The forward pocket has a flexible profile which is fitted by the owner. The rear ones are fine but because the front ones are not rigid they can catch the cyclists heel when loaded. I overcame this by making my own out of plywood slightly undersized to fit inside the bag card envelope. This helps keeps the profile clear of the cyclists heel.

Bought these panniers as I wanted to start cycling to work. They’re a great size for a laptop, change of clothes and shoes, and plenty of other bits. I also love the fact you can clip reflectors on the back too. The fluorescent yellow makes me feel really visible and safe on the road. Would love to see them in a truly waterproof material also.

Huge

I only received this item today, and was really pleased with it. However when taking it off my pannier, one of the hooks ripped the bag, and is now barely hanging on. This could be avoided by being very careful when unhooking it, but I will be getting a return and getting a new one.

Fits perfectly on the below pannier rack: BTWIN FOLDING BIKE REAR CARRIER 583693 I have these bags on my Tilt 500 and despite it being a folding bike with 20" wheels, there is still sufficient clearance from the ground and the bag does not interfere with any mechanical features on the bike. It does block the folding magnet on the rear wheel though but that's understandable. It will be interesting to see how durable the plastic clips are but so far so good. Bags are also great at keeping rain / water out.

These bags works really well for day to day commuting as well as trips to the supermarket. I cycle over a pair of cattle grids on my way to work and they stay securely fixed in place even when empty. You can fit loads of shopping in these bags and just get on with cycling home without worrying if it's all secure. Tested in very heavy rain and they held out well thanks to the flaps which enclose the front and back of each compartment. Be careful when choosing lights to attach to the bags as I didn't concentrate fully and ended up ordering the wrong size.

Won’t collect any water in rain. The flat top provides convenience for birds to rest and shit.

No Lightweight pannier rack for my riverside bike

Certainly large and spacious bags. Fixing to the rack is simple and does not look over robust but works fine so far. Slightly difficult to position so as not to clip them with your heels as you pedal. I think more designed for shopping trips than cycle touring. well finished and perform as I expected

Good capacity, fit well and for the price, good value.

great product, well balanced when i,m riding my bike, does what they supposed to do and i can carry everything i need for a days cycling, camera, drone, drinks, food etc

I use these with my elops e900 step through frame bike. I use it for carrying around 8-9 kg of stuff everyday including food, clothes and water. They are really convenient and come supplied with velcro straps to secure to the bike frame, but I find the clips do a sterling job on their own so I don't bother using them, which makes putting them off and on very easy. I also got them for nearly free - because I used my loyalty points earned from buying my bike to get a voucher which nearly covered the cost of the bag.
